Crazy Hair Day

We love Red Ribbon Week - it's the only time that we get to dress up and act crazy at school.  Today was crazy hair day.  Obviously Cassie needed a little extra bit of help in the hair department.  Anna is so excited to dress up every day but Joey has to be talked into everything (kind of like his dad).  We'll see how he does tomorrow.  Wish us luck!

Halloween Prep

Cassie's Halloween fairy wig needed some serious tlc.  Unfortunately she wouldn't sit still long enough to be much of a help.  Good thing for big brothers who save the day!  We're not sure who is prettier, we'll let each of you decide that for yourselves!

Fall Break

Our family really needed Fall Break this year.  By the time that the flu made it's way around our family (Cassie twice) three weeks had passed.  But it only struck on the weekends, how horrible is that?  We went into Fall Break with fingers crossed that everyone's health would hold up.  We were determined not to do any work unless we dang well wanted to.  We are happy to announce that we were successful and had a great time.  We played, napped and decorated for Halloween (in that order).  We are refreshed and ready for another week of school.  Bring it on!

Grandma & Grandpa

Last week Grandma and Grandpa came from Montana to visit us.  They were super excited to see us and so were we.  It was fantastic that they came to see us but I would rather that we went to their house.  We are already planning a trip to visit them next summer and we can't wait.  We love them both and hope to see them again soon.


We have been super busy now that school has started.  With all of our extra curricular activities sometimes we barely have time to think.  Our family has been working on building a school website for the last week.  We are pretty close to being finished.  If you would like to see what we have been working on here is a link.

 

Meteor Shower

When Anna was gone we watched the meteor shower and we saw lots of deer. Every time a car came by we saw lots of deer in their lights. I was a little afraid so I sat on the car so they couldn't reach me. We saw with our eyes twenty meteors. It was dark and we brought our telescope but dad couldn't get it to see through. On our way home we got some ice cream. It was lots of fun!

Camp Cloud Rim

Camp Cloud Rim was fun! My camp name was Petunia. I went swimming, funoeing and paddle boating. There was a floating dock that was really fun and lots of fish. My favorite counselor was Bear because she was the nicest and the first one that I met. My most favorite thing about camp was swimming because it was the funnest. The water was cold but it was still very fun. They canceled the polar dip which I was kind of hoping for but we still got credit for doing it because the water was super cold when we swam in it. My camp buddy was Shark we had lots of fun together.

Off to Camp

This is the most excited we've seen Anna all summer. We took her up to Girl Scout camp last night and dropped her off. She was a little nervous and hugging her teddy bear as we drove away but she couldn't stop giggling because she was so excited to be there. Now, while she is having a blast canoeing, swimming, eating a floating lunch, doing crafts, singing, etc. we are at home missing her and counting down the days until we get to go pick her up again. Saturday can't come soon enough!
